CAN BAS | LA CREU 2022 75cl

Product Sheet – Can Bas La Creu 2022

Can Bas La Creu 2022 is the Mediterranean embrace of a Sauvignon Blanc that springs from the eponymous plot planted in 1994, in the heart of Penedès. A luminous and vibrant white, like a cross of light on limestone soils, that pays homage to the terroir and the know-how of Can Bas.

Fermentation takes place partially in French barrels and partially in stainless steel, which gives the wine a rich texture without losing its fresh nerve. Its subsequent aging provides volume and complexity, respecting varietal purity.

Tasting Notes

Pale yellow color with golden and green hues. The nose displays a citrus range —grapefruit, white fruit— combined with notes of Mediterranean herbs, tropical mango and apricot, and a slight toasted touch from the barrel. On the palate it is fresh, creamy and lively, with a long finish where ripe fruit combines with minerality and a subtle saline echo.

Food Pairing

Ideal with grilled white fish, creamy seafood rice, mushroom risottos, warm salads and oven-roasted chicken with Mediterranean herbs. Its balance of freshness, fruit, and body enhances marine and vegetable flavors.

Can Bas La Creu 2022 invites us to elevate our gaze: an elegant, sincere and generous Sauvignon, child of a sunny land and noble cultivation.
